Throughout this course, you have been building competence in your role as a scholar-practitioner. You conceived of an article for a highly regarded publication and planned a study based on a business problem. For this assessment, you will demonstrate your expertise in high performance leadership by creating a presentation for a virtual conference related to leading digital transformation. Presenting at conferences, to professional societies, and to industry experts is one way to grow your brand in the field of doctoral business scholar-practitioners. Use this opportunity to hone your presentation skills for your future benefit.
You have been invited to give a presentation at the upcoming virtual Harvard Business Review summit on leading digital transformation. Attending the summit will be Harvard Business Review staff, university academics, business leaders, research organizations, and grantors. The goal of your presentation is to cover the fundamentals of high performance leadership in a digital transformation environment and the implications of high performance leadership, building high-performing teams, leadership practices for leveraging diversity, and leveraging diversity for stronger teams and organizations. The summit organizer asked that you highlight the importance of high performance leadership in building, leading, and sustaining an innovative organization.
To prepare for the assessment, read Crush Your Next Virtual Presentation.
Develop a paper for a 15–20 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker’s notes, in which you address the following, this will create the foundation for your next assessment:
The high performance leadership fundamentals of driving digital change.

NOTES FROM THIS WEEK’S LESSON
Weeks 5-6 Notes
Democratic Processes and Market Systems in Public Administration
Module 3 of this course explores the interplay between democratic processes and market systems, examining diverse economic models and their implications for governance and public administration. This section will cover critical theorists and financial models, including Galbraith’s theory of social balance, critiques of U.S. monopoly capitalism, the Swedish model of social democracy, and the Mondragón cooperative as a form of worker democracy.
John Kenneth Galbraith and the Theory of Social Balance
John KeGalbraith’s work emphasizes the need for balance between different sectors of the economy to achieve social and economic stability. In his discussions on the social balance theory, Galbraith argues that public policy should aim to balance the power of different economic groups to prevent any one group from dominating the socio-economic landscape. This perspective is crucial for public administrators who must navigate the complexities of financial interests and power dynamics in policy formulation and implementation.
U.S. Monopoly Capitalism: An Irrational System?
This module segment examines critical perspectives on U.S. monopoly capitalism, questioning its rationality and sustainability. The critique focuses on the concentration of economic power within a small number of large corporations and its adverse effects on competition and economic equity. Understanding these dynamics is vital for public administrators involved in regulation and policy-making aimed at fostering competitive markets and preventing monopolistic practices.
The Middle Way: Swedish Social Democracy
Swedish social democracy, often called” the “Middle” Way,” balances market capitalism with strong social welfare policies. This model demonstrates how government intervention can coexist with a market-based economy to promote social welfare, economic stability, and equality. The Swedish example provides valuable lessons for public administration students on the potential of social democratic policies to mitigate the harsher aspects of capitalism while promoting economic growth and social welfare.
The Mondragón Cooperative: A Path to Worker Democracy
The Mondragón Cooperative in Spain represents a unique model of worker democracy within a capitalist framework. As one of the largest cooperatives in the world, Mondragón is organized around democratic principles that allow workers to have a say in the management of the enterprise, share profits, and make decisions. This model presents an alternative approach to traditional capitalist enterprises by emphasizing worker ownership and participation, offering insights into the possibilities of democratic governance in business practices.
Due: End of Week 6
PRESENTATION: Students are required to present a comprehensive review of the political economy in public administration, incorporating the theories and models discussed throughout the course.
